| description: | This three-day course focuses on solutions for deploying software ranging from the installation of individual files to the deployment of complete system images to multiple computers. Students then apply what they’ve learned to create a full deployment plan that includes testing, hardware and software deployment, as well as auditing and maintenance. The course also teaches students how to create a tiered Software Update server solution, as well as about third- party solutions to supplement tools provided by Apple. Students get hands-on experience in using tools such as Apple Remote Desktop, Disk Utility, PackageMaker, Property List Editor, DeployStudio, and System Image Utility and discuss the pros and cons of each for different deployment situations. |
| prerequisites: | Basic troubleshooting experience or Lion 101 Basic Lion Server experience or Lion 201 Experience with Mac OS X in a network environment Experience using the command-line interface with OS X |
| target audience: | This class is for system administrators who need to know how to streamline the process of installing and configuring a large number of devices running Mac OS X or iOS.
